Thanks for the pat on the back, your own contributions, and for spotting my error in the All-Conference teams. I had copied and pasted the preseason list since a lot of the names were the same and then adjusted accordingly. In my adjusting, I somehow missed switching DiJuan over to Ricky. I'm a Richmond fan, so I guess we'll have to temporarily set aside any Wikipedia collegiality a bit later tonight. ;) WildCowboy (talk) 20:17, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Manny Ramirez, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:46, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Point taken about minor edits. Restored my good faith edit, with no minor edit this time. Hopefully that passes the test.--MikeUMA (talk) 01:33, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, apparently you go to UMass Amherst. I do as well and I am quite excited to see yet another Wikipedian who attends that school. I like to invite you to join the

Thanks for catching that! I was editing several articles at the same time & it threw me off. :) MegastarLV (talk) 03:00, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No worries here. But you might want to throw a quick apology to the previous editor though. Your comment was a bit nasty, but you were the one who was incorrect. --MikeUMA (talk) 15:17, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know. I often lose my patience when I'm reverting so many edits like these at once.

BTW, I looked on his talk page & I noticed he's recently being warned for other vandalisms he's caused (some of which have been reverted by me). I realized, for example, that he's also been adding songs as open/endthemes in the infobox of articles like Jeopardy! & Saturday Night Live, & they obviously weren't really the themes used on the show. He did this to other articles as well, & somehow, the spelling correction he made to "Nickelodeon" was somewhere in between those edits & I thought he was mispelling it (yep, my mistake). Now I'm realizing he's correcting articles like he did before he vandalized. This is probably an IP address from mulitiple users. MegastarLV (talk) 19:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Mike, I'm currently working on an article for the 2003-2004 Saint Joseph's Hawks Mens Basketball and I was wondering if you were at all interested in helping me add to it. The url is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003%E2%80%9304_Saint_Joseph%27s_Hawks_men%27s_basketball_team , thanks for the help. 5hane2012 (talk) 01:28, 24 April 2012 (UTC)5hane20125hane2012 (talk) 01:28, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Suggestions for you... Try to model your page after a really good one like Kansas 2010-11. You may not be able to replicate everything they did, but it's very good from a style perspective. Also, look at the SJU media guide, that's gotta have some good info to help you. Plus, use the A-10 Media Guide for conference records. --MikeUMA (talk) 14:36, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your upload of File:Bruiser Flint Jan 20 2001.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_6nh9OabGMl6sRVz&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 01:07, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
